Skull & Bones\u2019 troubles continue as the game is delayed\u2026 again UbisoftUbisoft\u2019s Skull & Bones\u2019 seemingly never-ending limbo has been extended yet again. This information comes courtesy of Ubisoft\u2019s latest earnings briefing. Ubisoft\u2019s eternally upcoming multiplayer swashbuckler Skull & Bones may just be the reference point for \u2018Development Hell\u2019. Earlier in the year, we reported on the game\u2019s seventh delay. The game began development a decade ago as a direct response to the success of Assassin\u2019s Creed IV: Black Flag. It promised a multiplayer experience based on the incredibly popular ship combat of Ubisoft\u2019s take on the golden age of piracy. Since its announcement in 2013, Skull & Bones has undergone significant changes and multiple delays. Unfortunately for anyone still waiting, Ubisoft\u2019s most recent earnings report has confirmed another pushback to the company\u2019s \u201cQ4 2023-24\u201d. This places the new release period for Skull & Bones between January and March 2024. What\u2019s insane about this is how close the game has come to release before. The launch of Skull & Bones seemed imminent when it was given a solid release date of November 8, 2022, only to be pushed back less than a month before to March 9, 2023. The game was then given a foggier release window of \u201cearly\u201d in Ubisoft\u2019s 2023-24, then mid, now late. Since then, Skull & Bones has had a gameplay reveal and closed beta. It\u2019s unknown whether this latest delay is the result of players\u2019 criticisms during the closed beta. It\u2019s possible Ubisoft may need more time to correct Skull & Bones based on this feedback. Amidst the announcement of this delay for Skull & Bones, Ubisoft also mentioned moving back \u201canother large game\u201d but stopped short of saying what it would be. It appears to be the game Ubisoft teased in previous reports as being on the level of an \u201cAssassin\u2019s Creed or Far Cry\u201d.
